The grass-roots, non-profit Trinity Lake Revitalization Alliance, Inc. (TLRA) was founded in 2010 to help restore the economy of the forest communities adjacent to Trinity Lake—Coffee Creek, Trinity Center, and Covington Mill.

As a small rural forest community, the TLRA depends on our amazing volunteers and supporters to help us reach our goal to restore our area to its once vibrate past.

The Trinity Lake Revitalization Alliance (TLRA) was founded in 2010 as a 501(c)(3) corporation in response to the dramatic increase and change in timing of water releases from Trinity Reservoir that began in 2005. The lower summer lake elevation has a direct impact on the North Trinity Lake economy.

TLRA’s mission is to facilitate the restoration of the Trinity Lake Region to its former vibrate days and ensure that change occurs in a thoughtful way, in harmony with the needs, values and desires of our community.

Since then, TLRA’s activities have expanded to include acting as a North Trinity Lake advocate on various other natural resources issues that impact our region, and marketing the rich assets of the region to visitors and prospective home buyers and builders.

TLRA is governed by a volunteer board of five community members and three non-voting volunteer corporate officers. All operating and community projects funds come from direct donations, the sale of North Trinity Explore It logo wear, and the proceeds of the annual Trinity Lake Wine and Jazz Fest held the third Saturday of July.

Advocating for better Trinity Lake watershed management is also a top priority. A thinned forest would allow more water runoff in addition to reducing the fuel load and the chance of catastrophic fires. Many organizations that TLRA participates in are working towards better forest management.
